Lyrics


1. MOVIN' DOWN LIFE

Fast Flo paints her nails and she looks bored
So far nothing scored
Where she comes from, people take it nice and slow
That's all it takes, you know

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin', movin' down life

Truck Stop Ben thinks everybody else is a fool
That's why he dropped out of school
He drops them bennies and he sticks to the white line
I say he's doing fine

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin' movin' down life

No one knows where the river starts or where it goes
But jumping in and leaving my clothes

Movin' down life, one day or another
Movin' down life. movin' with each other
Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other


2. CAN'T TALK NOW

Excuse me baby, I beg your pardon, dear
That's not exactly what I wanted me to hear
Your line's been busy, I am watching much too long
It surely drives me crazy to just hear that beep-beep-beep-beeping sound

(Chorus)
Overseas operator, is there anything you can do
I am calling from a bar down-town and they're spitting on my shoe
Suddenly a voice familiar, I'm choking up inside
I've been through hell to reach you, baby
Just gotta talk to you tonight

And she said oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call
She said, oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call

Everybody's listening, I don't care
Don't you go hang me up now, don't you dare
Outside in the distance, I hear that clicking sound
Boy when I get home I'm gonna chase that bitch all over town

(Chorus)

She said oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call
She said, oh, I can't talk now
I'm too stoned to communicate at all

She said oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call
